Pencil and Eraser 

This is dedicated to parents and children...



Pencil: I'm sorry

Eraser: For what? You didn't do anything wrong.

Pencil: I'm sorry because you get hurt because of me. Whenever I made a mistake, you're always there to erase it. But as you make my mistakes vanish, you lose a part of yourself. You get smaller and smaller each time.

Eraser: That's true. But I don't really mind. You see, I was made to do this. I was made to help you whenever you do something wrong. Even though one day, I know I'll be gone and you'll replace me with a new one, I'm actually happy with my job. So please, stop worrying. I hate seeing you sad.


I found this conversation between the pencil and the eraser very inspirational. 
Parents are like the eraser whereas their children are the pencil. 
They're always there for their children, cleaning up their mistakes. 
Sometimes along the way they get hurt, and become smaller (older, and eventually pass on). 
Though their children will eventually find someone new (spouse), 
but parents are still happy with what they do for their children, 
and will always hate seeing their precious ones worrying, or sad.
All my life, I've been the pencil.

And it pains me to see the eraser that is my parents, getting smaller and smaller each day.

For I know that one day, all that I'm left with would be eraser shavings and memories of what I used to have.

#CleanUpCashOut with cashify

Hey guys! I am going to share with you all how I managed to #CleanUpCashOut my old phones. You can do it too! I've found a great and convenient way to sell away old gadgets.  Firstly, I am someone who likes to change my phone to the latest one and be updated with best features and technology and hence I end up buying phone almost every year or so, which obviously means I have a lot of old phones which are in good condition and can obviously fetch a great price. Few of them I had already gifted to my sister, and a friend. It was 2 months ago when my sister's birthday was approaching that I was short of some cash to gift her an Apple phone. I decided to gift and iPhone 7s and since I had already promised her, I didn't want to ruin it for her and miss the joy on her face. Just, when I was thinking how to get the cash and also contemplating of availing for EMI, I got my eyes on these two phones kept in the drawer. Voila, problem solved. Immediately I made uo my mind to s...

Hey everyone!  Today I'm talking about  #DefinitelyPTE by Pearson. We all, at some point of our career, must have felt the need or wish to go abroad for further studies.

Now, studying abroad isn't as easy as just traveling where you get a VISA & tickets and you're done.  You need to get a student VISA, qualify English test, qualify for your desired university, raising funds and what not.  Of the many challenges posed for studying abroad, the first one is the English Language Test -  https://in.pearson.com/assessments-and-certifications/pte-academic.html   Other common problems for staying abroad may include -  1.

Mr. Teacher & Mr. Wisdom

Several years ago Mr. Taleem Yafta (An Educated Person) was very famous for his knowledge and good speech. Once he was requested to deliver a lecture in a rural area. Mr. Taleem-Yafta went to his teacher Mr. Siana (Mr. Wisdom) and informed him that he will be visiting this village for the sermon. "How will you go the Village" "I shall take the bus and then I shall have to walk for 15 minutes in the fields to reach the village where some people will be waiting for me to take me to the rest home" " In the fields there might be guard dogs taking care of sheep flock so they might harm you" "Then I shall keep a stone with me to scare" "You won't be able to control them with a stone; only one dog will run away when you throw the stone but rest of the dogs will attack you" "Then I shall take a big wood or tree branches to scare them" "They might be 4-5 dogs and it will be hard for you to control all of them" T...
